STRIKING NEW MONUMENT OFFICES GRANTED CONSENT

A stunning new addition to the City of London’s office market is set for development, with the granting of planning consent for a new, 90,000 sq ft building at Monument.

The City of London granted consent today for the striking, 10-storey building. Designed by architects Make, the development will be taken forward by a joint venture between The Carlyle Group and Bellhouse Joseph.

Suitable as a prestigious HQ address, or for multiple-occupancy, the crystalline structure will be based in the square in which Monument stands.

Mark Harris, Associate Director, Carlyle Group said: “The opportunity for a corporate occupier to locate to this central and historic London setting is now in prospect. We will be bringing forward one of the most spectacular office schemes the City has seen.”

Ed Bellhouse, Chairman, Bellhouse Joseph added: “This will be a premier development and one which we are confident will be much in demand. Make’s designs are outstanding and we are proud that we will now be bringing them to life.”

The Carlyle Group and Bellhouse Joseph were advised by BH2 and GVA Grimley.
